A 23 year old South Dakota man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender.
Jeremiah Jay Swalley pled not guilty.
Swalley was convicted of Sexual Abuse of a Minor in January, 2017. As a result of this conviction, he is required to register as a sex offender. It is alleged that between September 9, 2021, and October 26, 2021, Swalley, a person required to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, and a sex offender by reason of conviction under Federal Law, failed to properly register as a sex offender.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to ten years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, five years of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The investigation is being conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Abby Roesler is prosecuting the case.
Swalley was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial.
